The Bank of Japan plans to keep raising interest rates if the economy recovers from an expected hit from tariff hikes by the United States. The Bank's deputy governor Shinichi Uchida said this, while warning of a highly uncertain outlook.According to last quarter's data, Japan's economy contracted for the first time in a year and more sharply than expected, underscoring the fragility of the recovery.After ending its decade-long stimulus policy last year, the Bank of Japan raised the interest rate to 0.5% in January and expressed its willingness to continue tightening monetary policy if a moderate economic recovery contributes to the sustained achievement of targets If USD/JPY declines, meaningful support could be found in the range: 142.50-143-50.
